Awaiting consult date....

[Jenjen2016 32]

Hi all,

I'm new to this. So I have been signing medical release forms from my current Dr's and having them fax my history to the Bariatric Dr. I want them to have a book ready in hand when I go for my consult. I got a call today from them telling me I have to wait for consultation date. Well sorry but I want you to have it all now so we are not stalling on this process. I want it ASAP. Did anyone follow the rules on this process? I already have an insurance clearance that I will be covered at 100% with this Dr. So why wait??

Thanks

Jen

Well every office is different. They might take people in order. I already knew I was covered but my office required people to attend the informational seminar first. I didn't learn anything there that I didn't know but it was a necessary step. Next you had to fill out a form during the seminar and then they would send you a link to fill out your info. I didn't want to wait for the link so I got it in advance and and filled everything out before they sent my link. But I still had to wait for them to call me to schedule my first appointment. They only took a couple of days because I did follow their process.

I suppose it depends on how busy your bariatric doctor is but mine is a large well known clinic and so they take people in order and stick to a strict process in order to get everyone taken care of in a timely fashion.
